IN MEMORY OF MISS JEWETT.
It is no easy task for us, the friends and
colleagues of Sophie Jewett in the English
Literature Department of Wellesley College,
to express our sense of loss; our grief for her
abides in those deep places where words may
not reach. For us who have toiled with her
shoulder to shoulder she has meant so large
a part of whatever was best and finest in
our endeavor that it seemed at first as if
the work could not go on without her, and
the passing weeks bring but a keener sense
of need. The world which, with her, seemed
full of beauty and of meaning, without her
seems stripped and bare. From everywhere
the words of her students and her readers
testify to the imperishable worth of her
achievement, both in the class room and in
her published work. It has perhaps been
given to few natures to express themselves so
truly; a clarity of word and act revealed her
very self; her very look was an expression of
inner loveliness. To that high courage, that
ardent scholarship of unceasing endeavor,
that fine poetic sense which made her in-
terpreter of visible and invisible beauty, that
lender sympathy with all life, we pay reverent
tribute. We realize how great has been the
gift of friendship with one for whom earth
held no values save those of the spirit, how
deep is the boon of sorrow so full of divine
significance.
Signed for the Department:
M vrgaret Sherwood.
The Department of English Literature,
so sorely bereaved last autumn, refrained
from any formal action until the- return of
Miss Sherwood and Miss Shackford from
Europe. At our first meeting of the
semester, the above expression of our love and
grief for Miss Jewett was adopted.
The Department, longing to commemorate
so beautiful a life- and personality in some
abiding form of beauty, plans to p]
the east transept of the college chapel, in the
south wall, a stained glass window. Among
the suggestions for the design are two that
especially appeal to us and on which we should
value the opinion of Miss Jcwett's friends —
something in the way of symbolism from
"The Pearl ."perhaps with silvery tints, or one
of the Dante angels that she loved. In her
own " Divina Commedia" we find marked
a passage ( " Purgatorio," Canto VIII, 28-30)
that in translation runs: "Green as leaflets
just now born were their garments, which,
beaten and blown by their green pinions,
they trailed behind."
A considerable portion of the required sum
is already assured, but we should be glad to
have any who have known and loved Miss
Jewett join witli us in this memorial. Money
sent to Miss Margaret Sherwood, i<s Abbott
street, will be acknowledged and added to the
fund already deposited in the Wellesley bank.
The amounts of individual contributions will
not be made known even to the Department.

THE NEW SOCIETY PLAN.
Although the successive motions passed
by the Society Congress have been duly
printed in the College News, a less formal
forecast of the actual working out ' of the
scheme is requ<
The Society Membership Committee con-
sistsof the Dean, two members of the Faculty,
and two students whom she shall appoint.
It is objected to this committee that th
is already overworked, that the Faculty ele-
ment is too large, and that it will be hard to
find leading students who are not society
members. In answer, it may be frankly
admitted thai this commit tic is an experi-
ment, if not a makeshift. The Eligible List,
depending mainly on scholarship, will have-
to be made up from records not accessible to
students. Because the Dean is heavily
worked, especially at the beginning of the
college year, there must be other members
of the Faculty to relieve her, SO far as she will
consent to lie relieved, of the actual labor of
the lists. If leading students who arc non-
society girls cannot be found, it may be
possible to find society girls who, as members
of the committee, can act without partiality
for their own societies. Should the time ever
come when, as by Miss Sherwood's pr<
tion — now, together with the question of the
continuance of open meetings, before
made up of the society presidents and the
principal officers of Barnswallows — all the
college societies are affiliated with the general
play-association, it has been suggested that
the president and vice-presidents of this
association might hold themselves free from
any one society in order to serve, on tin
mittee, the interests of all; and by that time
the way might have been opened to reduce
the Faculty representation on the committee
or dispense with it altogether.
Since the Eligible List, (onfimed to juniors
tors, is to contain, each year, 0
many names as there are vacancies in the
societies, allowing to each, society fifty mem
bers, its standard will necessarily be a shift-
ing one. In addition to the names determined
either by high academic standing in general
or by marked excellence in some one depart-
ment, there are to be a few names recom-
mended on the ground of marked public
service. These recommendations, coming
from the class presidents and the presidents
of the other chief college organizations,
Student Government, Christian Association,
Athleti. ion, Barnswallows, will be
called in soon after Tree Day, and, as a rule,
adopted by the Society Membership Com-
mittee. In the spring term, too, each society
will publish its proposed plan of work for the
coming year. The Eligible List will be made
up in the Dean's office as soon as practicable
in the summer and the students whose names
are on it will be informed by letter at their
homes, with the request that their applica-
tions be sent in by a given date. Each appli-
cant may give several society choices in order
of preference and should state the reasons
for choice. Reasons relating to the work of
the society, past or present membership, or
any other reasons will be fully taken into
account by that sub-committee of three,
which is to be elected from its own number
by the Society Membership Committee, to
place the applications. At the same dale
there will be due from each society a list on
which every society member shall have
entered no more than three names of girls
whom she would like to have in her society.
These names are not to be discussed in society
meetings nor voted on in any way, but made
up quietly and personally by some m
to lie determined in each society. The
Eligible List will be known, as a list, only to
ommittee. TheTtask of the sub-com-
mittee will be to match these lists as far as
possible, securing for each society a nucleu:
of girls who chose thai society firsl
and were especially wanted by members of
. and meeting the wishes of the
>: I 0 far a may be. In the nature of the
ease, not all applicants can have first choice,
nor can any society have all the girls whom
its individual members would most prefer.
The sub-committee will plan to do its work
so early that society initiations can take
place, as now, soon after the opening of the
college year.
This plan, thus roughly sketched, must,
liki "' pioneer plan, work out its own salva-
tion. Its aim, to secure a more generous and
democratic basis of membership, one bring-
ing the societies into accord with all other or-
ganizations recognized and fostered by
Wellesley, should make the college patient
with defects in the process. Such defects need
not be permanent. The weak places in the
plan will be best detected and most skillfully
mended in actual operation. It was nobody's
plan in the beginning, but at the end it had
become, in a sense, everybody's plan, for the
final vote of the Congress, expressing faith
in this scheme so slowly worked out through
five long sessions, and earnestly commending
it to the societies, was unanimous.

Secretary of the Society Congress.

ead Mis. i )eiam I .ays a
pleasure, but to have it read to us by the
authoress herself was little less than a luxury,
as the large audience of Monday evening,
April 4, witnessed. After her introduction,
Mrs. Dcland said that since on one or two
similar occasions she had been introducced
as "the author of 'Old Chester Tales,' " per-
haps it would be most suitable for her to read
a selection from them to-night. Those of us
who had read "An Encore" before were
certainly not displeased with her choice.
Perhaps the most admirable characteristic
of the talc itself is the perfect appropriateness
i tic. Not only in the bare events of the
narrative is (here encore but also in the very
wording and phraseology of the style in
which it is written. The consistent repetition
gives the plot an effect of balance which is
both gratifying and humorous. As a story,
"An Encore" is especially adapted to oral
reading; it is made up so much of delightfully
spicy conversation which results from the
marked individuality of every character.
And Mrs. Deland's interpretation of her work
was anything but disappointing. She caught
the spirit of all the characters perfectly and
could change from one impersonation to
another, apparently without any difficulty.
Her success in portraying each personality
to us was not due to tin range in volume of
her speaking voice, but merely to her perfect
understanding of each of her roles. It
was through this sincere sympathy that Mrs.
Deland obtained also the truly humorous
effects, which enabled us to see the romantic
sloping figure of Alfred Price ambling over
to see Mrs. North, or to appreciate the scru-
pulous, conscientious thoughtfulness of Mary
North, the woman who "lived fiercely for
another's welfare." Mrs. Deland also em-

EDITORIAL.
Did you ever, in the midst of your busy
college life, stop and remember how you
thought of college before you came to Welles-
ley? It is rather amusing, is it not, in the
light of the present reality? We all no doubt
thought of it a good deal before we came,
planned for it and dreamed of it, but our
visions were not all alike. For some of us
no doubt, the name "college" was wrapped
about with all sorts of dreams no less delight-
ful than vague. It meant fudge parties and
serenades, numerous friends, pennant and
poster-bedecked rooms, tea tables and a
hundred and one more phases of college life
that magazine stories delight in setting forth.
If we thotight of work at all, it was as a sort
of hazy background of courses in which we
had always had a vague desire to dabble, but
it was certainly not to interfere with our
" regular college com
Perhaps another group of us had an entire-
ly different idea of college life. We thought of
it as a place where work was the only thing
worth while and where we would be able to
carry on studies and research in a congenial
atmosphere where the aim of everyone was
in accordance with ours. We should have at
hand a great store of accumulated knowledge
and a great opportunity of increasing our
own learning. This was to be our one aim
and our one ideal and we rather expected to
find at least the majority of our fellow-stu-
dents with the same notion.
Some of us were disappointed when at
last we came to college and found the reality
of college life. For some of us, indeed, the
disappointment was a happy one — we found
Wellesley so much better than anything we

had ever expected that we were left with an
inexhaustible fund of enthusiasm for the
college and all its members. But for others
of us, the disappointment was not so pleasant.
We found our ideas so revolutionized that we
were not quite certain just what ones we had
started out with, but we felt confused and out
of harmony, and a little bit pessimistic.
We said we weft' disillusioned.
If we were, there's a cure for it, and we can
not only recover from the disappointment.
but come out of it with a deeper enthusiasm
than all our dreaming could have inspired.
Let us get a perspective — not such a verv
easy task when we are shut up in a community
of our own and so greatly concerned with
our own ideas and thoughts. It's hard under
those circumstances to get a different point
of view, but it's one of the quickest ways to
knock out the supports from under dis-
couragement and disillusionment. You,
who found, much to your surpirse, that work,
good hard work, was given an important
place at Wellesley, that it was even possible
for work — or the lack of it — to keep you from
enjoying some of the things you had set your
heart on — take a view ahead of your college
life — do you think for a moment that your
memory of the four years at Wellesley will
be satisfactory or complete, if it recalls work
superficially done and work done as a task
with no sense of the privilege it unity
that many girls would give everything to
possess? Here we have a chance that we will
never have again, a chance that cannot be
other than appreciated, if it is only realized —
and it will only take a little serious thinking
for us to see it as a great opportunity. Try
to put your interest into what you are doing
in your academic work, even, for the sake of
novelty, do a little more than you have to do —
impossible thought! — and you will come more
and more to see that if you were disappointed
in the reality after your dreams, it is because
your dreams were incomplete. You will not
have given up your dreams, they will merely
have taken their proper place in the perspec-
tive, and Wellesley will be enough better
than your visions of it than you could ever
have: thought.
And you who felt that you have found only
careless light-heartedness and indifferent
application where you hoped to be one of a
great company of seekers after knowledge-
suppose you stand apart and look at your
college life as a whole, too. Do you not sec
friendships you might have made that have
passed by you while you were absorbed in
your one idea? And do you not think that
you will long for them with a great longing
when you have1 graduated with all the honors
your college can bestow on you? Try to sec
your college life in enough of its entirety
to know that it is a complex experience with
many sides, and the opportunity for knowing
and loving people is not one of the least of
these. Xo one would wish you to get less
than you do from your work, but you are
not getting all that you could out of your
work, if in the getting you are living entirely
to yourself. Having friends, an 1 making
yourself worthy to be a friend, i; quite as
much a part of your four years here. With
this new point of view, you see that you too,
have found college better than you dreamed.
So let us try to see our college life as a well-
rounded experience, full of many kinds of ben-
efits, and offering us the opportunity if we
will only take it. of becoming in the fullest
sense truly developed women.

"Cipher" and the utter forlorn impossibility
of tlie dominantly feeble "Gussie. Against
this depressing couple, the sensible, generous,
whole-souled Dr. Lavender was brought
into a most happy contrast, especially grati-

for Letty, her vivacity and readiness were
the life of the whole tale and throughout it
her refreshing influence could be keenly
felt.
The reading, as a whole, gave us the im-

have all known and enjoyed and of whom
we are always anxious to hear more.

The opportunity for making good the sins of omission seldom

spection,— to make your idealism and your sympathy something
more than pretty words. The neglected shirt-waists are again to be
on sale, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 14, 15 and 16, from
nine to I've in the Senior Parlor. The shirt-waists formerly sold at
S4 and $3.50 will be only S2. 75. A three-days' sale, and the pub-
licity of bulletin board and Nkws, prevent you from pleading ig-
norance of the present opportunity. If you approve the union label
and that which it represents, you will do more than eloquently pro-

active support means something more solid than a glowing vo-

MR. CABOT ON THE HOUSING PROBLEM.
"There is a popular fallacy that there are wicked landlords and
wicked tenants," said Mr. Philip Cabot, in a lecture given to one
of the Economic Courses 7, on Friday afternoon. April 8, "but
I've never seen either. Both landlords and tenants are often
victims of circumstance, but few landlords ever really grind the
face of the poor."
Mr. Cabot, who, for fifteen years, has studied the housing
problem in Boston and the vicinity, went on to say that the worst
question facing social workers to-day, is that of congestion in the
tenement district. The most crowded parts of the city are Wards
() and 8, the North and West Ends. Here, the tenement district
covers one hundred and three acres; out of this must be taken room
tor streets, as well as for churches, schools and public buildings,
which cuts the one hundred and three down to about fifty acres.
On this fifty acres live forty-four thousand people, under the lowest
possible sanitary conditions. The Board of Health is responsible for
the lack of regulations in Boston as to the number of cubic feet of
air necessary for each person. The minimum number of cubic feet
required in sanitary boarding houses is four hundred, which is bare-
ly half of what one would get in a very small bedroom; and of the
forty thousand, twenty thousand people have much less than this
regulation amount. The effect of this bad sanitation must be ex-
ceedingly harmful on the public health, although statistics give no
evidence of it. Yet the United States census shows that in these
two wards, there is an average of one hundred and forty-four peo-
ple to one hundred rooms; this does not apply to bedrooms only, but
to kitchens as well!
In these two wards values of land have doubled, while in
Charlestown and East Boston, where "model tenement houses"
have been erected, land is decreasing. People flock to the more
crowded parts, where rent is cheaper; correspondingly, rents must
be decreased in other districts.
If these conditions are to be improved, it must be accomplished
through the working of an economic law. The motive of pity is too
apt to be weak and ineffectual. The Board of Health has power to
deal with the situation, but it rarely takes the initiative in any
action.
However, any action would only tend to raise the rent, and this
brings a new problem — the poor are already paying all they can, and
ought. What is to be done? Mr. Cabot's theory is that, if a stand-
ard is set, to which many cannot reach, the number of foreigners
crowding the tenement districts will be lessened; they will be forced
to seek other occupations, preferably farming, for which many op-
portunities are open.
DR. GIFFORD ON "PRACTICAL CHRIS-
TIANITY."
At the Christian Association meeting, on Thursday, April 7>
Dr. Gifford spoke on the essentials of Christianity, emphasizing the
power of words in the realm of Christian thought.
Immediately after the meeting, Dr. Clifford gave a lecture on
"Practical Christianity." His two main points were: — first, be sure
you are right, and second, seek points of contact. For since we live
in a universe that we can trust, we can rely on ourselves as part of
that universe, and can therefore come to decisions which we know
are right, through careful consideration. If we would be what
we would have ourselves be, and do what we would have others do,
we would soon find the necessary points of contact. Before we can
reform a community, we must reform ourselves and if we make the
first point of contact with the home, the points of contact with the
city, the country, and the world, will follow naturally.

REVIEWS OF BOOKS ON SUFFRAGE.
The Home, by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oilman, undertakes the
task of making us pause to reflect. Before the end of the first
chapter our most deep-seated convictions have been subject*
searching analysis. Yet Mrs. Oilman explicitly states her belief in
the home ideal. If she turns it about before our eyes, pointing out at
almost every angle present defects, she does this, she declares, that
the home of the future may benefit.
Chapters which deal with the evolution of the civilized home
contain little that is new; those, however, which treat of definite
aspects of home life, such as "The Child in the Home, l'he Girl
in the Home," " Home and Social Progress," repay reading.

in modern social conditions and not afraid to face realities. His in-
sight seems at times almost like a scalpel laying bare the sub-
conscious motives of men and women with absolute impartiality.
To the general reader, certain chapters are of especial interest.
The first, on "Organic Differences in the Sexes," is rather technical
but necessary for a clear understanding of his views, one of his con-
clusions being — "The extreme variational tendency of man ex-
presses itself in a larger percentage of genius, insanity and idiocy;
woman remains more nearly normal."
The five chapters from page 55 to page 201 might well be omit-
ted by the general reader as too technical, being mainly studies of
the evolution of modern society from Bushmen, negroes, Israelites
and American Indians. He places many facts in new lights; for in-
stance, instead of calling the Indian lazy for allowing his wife to
carry their home, he says the woman was the owner of the house;
"So when the Indian squaw carries the wigwam on the march she is
carrying her private property."
The three remaining chapters, "The Psychology of Modesty
and Clothing," "The Adventitious Character of Woman," ami
"The Mind of Woman and the Lower Races," an' of especial inter-
est to women, and no modern woman can afford to be ignorant of
the basic principles here clearly expounded. "Know thyself" is a
classic bit of advice, and here, every woman, whether her ruling
passion be dress, athletics, marriage or study, can find valuable in-
formation concerning herself.

Possibly this is an opportune moment, since 1913 is seeking
privacy for her bulletin board, to suggest that there are four other
bulletin boards which might also appreciate privacy. The Freshman
board is at the extreme left, and it is scarcely necessary for a Fresh-
man to begin at the extreme right, and calmly peruse- the four

You're right, 1913, this "unwritten law" should be observed.

II.
In a recent number of "The Townsman," there was a long
satire describing an imaginary interview between the two famous
characters, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Their conversation
consisted of a subtle criticism of a certain careless fault of ours,
namely, that of leaving much cast-off rubbish around the campus
and the Wellesley streets. Sherlock Holmes was represented as
having deduced various interesting truths concerning us from dif-
ferent relies of ours he had found. His collection contained all man-
ner of delicacies from hairpins to cigarette papers. Although the
condition depicted in the article was probably exaggerated, yet it is
doubtless true that we are very careless about littering up the
campus with paper bags and boxes and so forth; and we can never
00 careful that the reputation of our college should not suffer
from an individual thoughtlessness.

The attention of all students is called to the following Extracts
from Legislation:
"A student who is absent from an examination for fails to hand
in a final paper at the appointed time) must send a letter of ex-
planation to the Dean not later than twenty-four hours after the
close of the last examination of the examination period. If the
reason assigned is judged adequate by the Academic Council, the
student will incur a 'defieiency;' if the reason is judged inadequate,
the student will incur a 'default ' or 'condition.' If the student fails

CONCLUDING EXAMINATIONS.
A student who finds that two of her examinations are posted for
the same time is asked to write a note to Miss Pendleton, stating the
courses between which the conflict occurs, and to drop the note in

The schedule of extra examinations to provide for these eases of
conflict and for examinations to remove conditions and for ad-
vanced standing will lie posted later.

ALUMN/E NOTES.
In addition to notes concerning graduates, the Alumnae
column will contain items of interest about members of the
Faculty, past and present, and former students.
A member of the class of 1907 writes as follows:
"I wish I could tell you what these two years of teaching have
meant to me. When I left college I thought of teaching merely as a
way of earning my living, but now I know it is a great opportunity
for service. I enjoyed the two years so much, especially the last one.
I only wish I might tell all the seniors now in college who are ex-
pecting to teach next year, not to think of it as drudgery, but as a
splendid opportunity to influence boys and girls to true ideals of
righteousness. I can't begin to tell you how many mistakes and
failures I made, but no amount of mistakes could take away my
enthusiasm."
The Boston Wellesley Club is planning to give next fall a large
public entertainment, the proceeds of which will go to further some
interest at Wellesley, probably the Students' Building. No d<
plan of entertainment is yet settled, but the committee in charge is
attempting to secure a play of real literary and artistic value. It
is hoped that by May 7, when the club will meet at Billings Hall,
Welleslev, some definite plan may be ready to present.
